We had a lovely time up at the Long Beach peninsula, despite the awful weather and light... here is one I shot real quick at the last few minutes when I thought things were going to open up -

I like it. What would you say to making this a pano..some of the upper sky level is kind of bleak but the lower area with the clouds is good. Also, maybe lighten up the lower right just a touch.

Makes for a nice b&w Ned. The clouds look great.

I like it as well, as is or perhaps with a smidgen off the top. Great clouds. Nice job on the processing, the tones are great. The foreground contrasts nicely with the rest of the scene.

I love it, Ned. The atmosphere provided by those clouds, especially towards the horizon, makes it for me. I'm with Larry that perhaps a tiny bit off the top will help.

Nice Ned...the clouds really make this picture. Great work. I have a personal dicipline of not cropping my pictures (somtimes gets me in trouble...lol) but I can see what others are saying about the top.

I like it, Ned, I might go for a small crop off the top.

Awesome horizon clouds!

Thanks for the comments! Yep - agree with the crop idea - in fact I need to print it as such for the GF...

Cloud detail and overall tones are superb!
